A shot reading, Ten Steps to a Happy Life
I have been away for a short moment, and wrote this recently. Thought I would share it. Hope you like it. Although, I hope you didn't click on this in hopes to improve your life. This probably wont help. It may make it worse. It will probably make it worse. But, if you are looking on RUclips on ways to be happy, you have probably already given up. Does anyone read descriptions?
This is one of the best lists on a happy life ever. Utterly excellent. “Commit to something meaningless”-outstanding. “After the 40th day,” you will need to walk more to finish your thoughts. “Made up names are real names”-divine. And this time, there is a mutual glance… “And don’t find time for anything, because then that time will have passed”-I love that. Just great all around-thank you!
Thank you so much! These quick little pieces can be fun to put together, and a piece trying to express aspects of Camus' absurdism, Srartre still manages to "glance" in 😅 I am glad you liked it, thank you!
@@attention5638 I did very much! I'm very glad to have discovered your channel and happy to say I have much more to enjoy! Thank you for all the work you've put into this space: we're all better for it.
Writer, musician, artist - the ultimate Triple Threat! This was fantastic, completely mesmerizing. I love seeing your art.
Thank you so much! I do hope to do more like this in the future. I am glad you liked it 😊
"Don't think about that [thing I just got you to think about]." This was wonderful. Step 7 is probably my favorite.
I’ve listened to this so many times, I get something new out of it each time I listen to it. The mixture of humour and truth is just so good!
Quite possibly the best and most accurate guide to life ever. Thank you!
This is absolutely the perfect description of life and how it all works. Love it. The music and the art is such a bonus to this reading👊💖
"If you never committed to something meaningless, you would wish you had" LOOOOL I am making a bookmark with this quote, sir :D Yes, some of us still read descriptions. I love this, please keep writing :) Also, that painting is super cool!
Hahaha, I should start making bookmarks again! I will start giving them out with my book--that seems like a decent idea! 😎😁
This list is both brilliant and super confusing, lol. And I absolutely love how the picture turned out! Breathtaking.
Thank you so much! I had never done something like that before, so I was okay with out it turned out. 😊
I know it's basic but going to bed early changed my life. I can never go back! Gave me big “Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.” vibes.
Getting to bed as early as possible is my mantra! "With every person you will ever meet, there is a world that exists in which you do not" is so impactful, I find remembering how small I am to be really grounding. Love step 7 😉 Names - words - are all made-up anyway! Your artwork turned out amazing, I had no idea where you were going with it!
A million YESES! This is wonderful! 🤗 I think I got step seven down 😂 love the ducks and awesome art!
Thank you so much!😊 Step seven seems to be the only one I can master 😅
This was funny and accurate, “Too much sleep is also important, it’s importance rests in not doing it”
This video is great. Love the video, audio, & music pairing. Great channel. Great video. Really creative and well done. 100% retention.
This was so awesome, poignant, and meaningful. But don't think about that. Thanks, Pae! ☮💚🙂🎶
Stop being so talented and leave some for the rest of us!😋 Between the music and the picture and the words... I can't pick which I like better!🤗
1. You’re seriously entering a “Beatles” artistic zone where each of your videos is distinctly unique and separate from the previous ones. That’s a testament to your creativity.
2. That painting is so beautiful and inspiring, and very well-balanced from a visual standpoint. I had NO idea what was happening until maybe 5 seconds before you finished it, and I loved that.
3. Let’s try to do our little project maybe in a couple of weeks? Let me know how your schedule looks like. 👍🏻
Hahaha Thank you so much, The Beatles are a good bar to constantly be trying to reach haha. I wouldn't mind hitting that success 😂 I never tried to do something like this one before, but it did end up better than I expected. 😎 And yes! I should actually be able to focus for the next few weeks. Last that I saw, I think you were having trouble sending something--I will see if I can get it on my end. Or maybe it is my email-- I do have troubles with it some times. If so, I can give you another email that I use!
@@attention5638 No problem about email address - I found a way to send it, but haven’t had the time to record the actual video yet. I’ll do it this week.
Beautiful art. Both the words and the drawing. ❤
Yes, some of us still read descriptions! Also, even though I wasn't really sure what I was walking into, this did somehow make my life better. It's one of those things that deep down you know you need it, but you don't realize how much you needed it, until it appears. 😍🥰
Great video!! Both profound and funny. The painting/picture looks great too!
Twisty, turny, but calming, as others said. And humerus 💪🏽
Oddly enough, I related to this video so much right now. 😅 I’m going through a mental and physical reset where I’m meditating, walking, journaling all of that in the morning and doing a new gym fitness routine. And yet… I feel like I’m constantly interrupted by a similar inner dialogue. This was brilliant! 😊
I am very much with you on the mental and physical reset. These last two weeks have been a bit much--but, getting through it! I just saw on your channel that you recently read a book dealing with this. I think I should probably check it out haha 😊
“If you are looking at RUclips on ways to be happy, you have probably already given up.” Yup! This was pretty mesmerising - the visuals, the music and words. Was that The Pixies I could hear? Certainly left me with lots to not think about!
I truly loved this one...
Sleep is actually very important.
Great video mate.
There is something serene abt seeing you draw while listening to you with music in the background. Great video.
Thank you so much! I am glad you liked this. 😊
Love the last line. Great video again 😊
Ah that good ol’ time with KC. Those were good times. Before the dangerous activity times.
Oh! Those where the dangerous activity times!🤣😂
You can really do anything! this was brilliant!! 🎉🎉👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much, Hugo! I am glad you liked it. 😊
ive seen this method of art done before! you are amazing ❤️❤️
Excellent!
"Don't find time for anything, by the time you find it it will have already passed." Boom! I really enjoyed listening to this while watching you make art. ...and yes...I read descriptions lol
Thank you so much! I do hope when I return to making videos to be able to do more things like this. Hopefully!😊
This is perfection ☺️
Thank you so much. 😊💙
I love this. All of this. Literally most of my favourite things are featured here.
Oh and I always read the description. I’m funny that way.
Oh! Thank you so much! I am glad you liked it😊 I do hope to do more like this in the future!😎
As enticing as a technology break sounds...I ded would not welcome the inconvenience. Good too see u....
This was so soothing and enjoyable! Well done Pae! Love your whole artistic style!
Oh! Thank you so much! Sorry for the late response, I've been far away from things recently, but greatly appreciated. Thank you 😊
I love everything about this. 💕 So happy to see a video by you today. I sort of needed this pep talk. But I shouldn't think about that.
Thank you AJ! I am glad you liked it. And yes! I see you are taking these steps seriously 😅😊
Really loved this art, and seeing the process of creating it!! And I'm amused by the narration "think about a very specific incident" as if it were a universal experience lol
Hahaha that is exactly what I was going for--I don't know why, but thought that was hilarious and had to write it that way. I am glad you picked up on that. Thank you for checking it out. 😊😎
This was brilliant. Loved the reading, and watching you create art was very soothing. Thank you for this. :)
Thank you so much for checking it out! I am glad you liked it. 😊
😻
😊😊
You lost me when you suggested replacing coffee was a step towards happiness. Rumour has it Balzac drank 50 cups a day and he was certainly a lot happier than his kidneys.
This was very funny and I loved the art and seeing the process.
I got so drawn in by this video that I nearly missed a creative meeting this evening! For real lol
Between your seamless use of multiple mediums and the words that resonated ooh so deeply with me as someone who is always reminding myself to control my caffeine intake and take more thoughtful walks and just get those 21 days out of the way all the while feeling as if I'm somehow careening into mundanity... well, I digress... wonderful words, sounds, and visuals.
If I could see a creation like this every day I think I would be on my way to a happier life ;P
Thank you so much! Those first 21 days! I have broken it so many times, that itself has become the routine 😅 I have been wanting to do more like this, they just don't do as well as....tag videos hahah. 😂 Maybe one day.😊
Words of Wisdom ✌️
Thank you very much! 😊
This was wonderful. I hope you send it out somewhere to get published. Watching you paint and draw is fascinating and soothing at the same time. And yes, the gym is good for posture.
Thank you so much! This was actually a piece I did get published many years ago, but I rewrote it for this, because reading the original, it was embarrassingly terrible, I couldn't just let it be 😂 I am now terrified to read anything that I had published during that year haha😅
@@attention5638 Oh, I know that feeling! It's a wonderful piece, funny and serious and interesting all at once, so whatever you did, it worked!
@@TootightLautrec Thank you so much. It is always good to hear that from someone that I know reads deeper into works of literature. Your opinion (especially on original work) I take very seriously, so thank you. 😊😊
Hah, nice and calming and funny.
Dang shi* got real near the end there.
Envious of your art skills. I am of the stick man level.
Haha thank you very much! It was a lot 9f fun putting this one together 😊
Just beautiful
I was wondering if, sometime in the future, I could take a story from Scarlett Sins and do something like this with it. I have been reading all these independent authors with channels, but since I don't really do book reviews, thought this may be an interesting idea. But never sure if they would like it or not
@@attention5638 You're more than welcome to!
This is the kind of video that I am either supposed to avoid or go to, either think about or not bring to life by thinking about...at least according to this kind of video...so what do I do with this then? Enjoy the literal F out of it, thats what. Lovely man. for real, you've got the music in you, you know...all the music, and its almost not fair!
Hahah Thank you, Brandon. I thought you might like this kind of "flash fiction" (if that's what it can be called). 😊😎
This was very very cool! :)
Thank you so much for checking it out! Glad you liked it 😊
Very nice video 👍❤️
Thank you so much!😊
* reads descr. * ha, I do.
You really just rolled up in here like this, didn’t you? 🤭 dude!
but how does it look like wood? and the skull and the heads and goodness! always a joy to hear your voice with your prose. 🖤
and freakin’ then some, damn! 🤘
Thank you so much! I never tried to paint with coffee before, but it did turn out well, and it looks so much better in real life. The camera didn't get it as well as I would have liked, but I ran out of time, and finished this video a moment before posting it hahah😅💙
@@attention5638 wait, you never tried it before this? 😯 dude! 🤘
I love this video and your creativity!!💖
Thank you! It is always a little terrifying to put something like this out. 😅
@@attention5638 This is wonderful!!! Keep it coming. 💖
Cool video and definitely a lot to take on board. Been quite a challenging time though here’s to striving for that happiness and joy however we can. Btw, the riff reminds me of Where is my mind by the Pixies. Unlike many people, I do read descriptions. I didn’t click to make things better or worse, was just curious and it’s been a while since I swung around. Questioning is often a big part of what we live and how we experience it. Routines do have value though spontaneity is so magnificent. Here’s to doing what we have to do, even if that includes doing nothing.
Hey J.D.! Hope all is well with you! I was actually going to write in the description, "the song is a rip-off of every song that has ripped off The Pixies." 🤣 I just switched the Am and B chord 😅 and agreed! I really do hope to get back into routine soon, as I can only take nothing for so long 😅
@@attention5638 been an interesting start to the year, I can tell you that much lol. and ha!!!! Pixies have been ripped off so much but at least Kurt was honest about it. Here's to getting something going indeed, man. Cheers
This was wonderful 😍 worth the wait. So happy to see you and this video. The first step 😍
Thank you so much! I am glad you liked it!😊
Pae, this is great. Love how you use your music, drawing, and writing, -including the description. Also love the humour. Step seven is essential. 😉💙
Thank you so much! 😊 I seem to be stuck on step seven, and have been for a while haha😅
This was simply wonderful. Loved everything about it. 🙂
Thank you! Did it all last night! I think it turned out alright, for what it is.😊
Well done! I was really wanting to skip step 7. Replace coffee with tea? Never! My life is definitely worse now. I shouldn't have read the description.
Hahaha Thank you, John! And yes, I am with you on that. I will stick with my coffee haha
Step 7: DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP!.........step 8
bro, I paused the video to laugh.the wit and implications of this line when considered with the rest of the piece. Fucking hilarious if only because its so damn tragic.
Vacationing, on my run right now, beautiful weather…all of these steps are wonderful….but that sleep 😬 don’t know if I’ll get as much when I’m back to my routine! Great video Pae! 😁
Still on vacation! Sleep is good from what I hear. Maybe one day, i will know about it 😅
So much to say. But I'll only say, hmm, that KC sounds like trouble. Ha! I had a Lynn. And very curious about the person in apt 403, because that would make a great story. I think step 7 is my favorite. 😁
Hahaha thank you so much for checking this out! We all have that one person that gets us into trouble 😅
This was so good! It kind of brought to mind the Fitter Happier song by Radiohead. I don't know if you're familiar with that, and I do mean that as a compliment just in case you don't like it. 😅 Your art is so good too! Wonderful video!
Hahah I do know that song! And I do like Radiohead!😊 thank you so much! I am glad you like it. 😊😊
I don't agree with step #8☕😆. Yes! Thank you! all names are made up.... You don't know how much I argue with people about this! Nice video👌🏿
Hahaha Right! And yes, I do agree, coffee is more important that most things haha😅
Art.
I read descriptions, but also skipped step 7. I didn’t have time for it.
Hahaha that seems to be the way to go. I have never gotten to step seven, either. 😅
I love this. Yes. Walks. My mind wanders the best during walks. I have a 15 minute walk from the bus stop to my office at 7:10 AM and another when I'm done work at 4:00. Walking makes me think about my writing. And what I'm reading. And BookTube, lol.
Yes! I do try to go for a walk every day, but I don't leave my apartment building, so I typically just go to the gym here and walk there haha. Outside is a terrifying place to be haha 😅
@@attention5638 It certainly can be!
Was the stuff that came after “the gym is good for posture” important because I started thinking about this time a person I know through RUclips hitched to a place I didn’t catch the name of with a person named Thoreau or something and I stopped listening. Or maybe that came after.
Hahaha you seem to be following the steps correctly! 😅😊
I sometimes read descriptions. 😁
Letting out the inner Jordan Peterson eh?!
Was that key fumbling on purpose?
I was confused at first about the JP reference, but yeah, you are right, the title does sound like something he would put up🤣 I never purposely fumbled around for my keys, unam.just terrible at finding anything 😅
1: I can get behind that.
2: Uh ... no? That requires going into the outside place with all the nasty "fresh" air.
3: Okay sleep is good but how much is too much? 12 hours doesn't seem enough to me.
4: There is no world in which I don't exist. Even if I'm not in somebody's life I still exist or are you trying to imply that things don't exist if you can't see them... because that's worrying.
5: My meditation is "today I will breathe". I never fail to hit my goal somehow.
6: I am committed to leaving comments on your videos and that seems pretty meaningless.
7: I fast forwarded 10 seconds. Did I miss anything?
8: Again I'm not walking anywhere and water is for weaklings.
9: I don't need courage to talk to anyone I hate people.
10;: I had something to say but i ran out of time. Don't worry about it.
Love this buddy a very interesting and thought provoking listen. See isn't this last bit more boring?
🎼"Tell your friends not to think out loud until they swallow..." Nickelback-Leader of Men.(or Swallow) depending on how you look it up.😀
HAHAHS Why must you post Nickelback lyrics here!!??🤣😂
@@attention5638 1. They're Canadian, if my info is correct. 2. Its about the only good song they ever wrote. 3. Seemed to almost fit the subject matter...or would you prefer some Iron Maiden?😀
@@stevencorey1278 They unfortunately are Canadian, and I actually don't think I know the song haha, but I would say, Iron Maiden is a better choice 😅
@@attention5638 Maiden is a way better choice. Nickelback ....LoL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Also I always read the Descriptions .
Great Video My friend. 👍😁👍
@@jamesfetcho6315 Hey James! Always good to see you here! It is no question Maiden over Nickleback any day!😅😂
_Very_ interesting, my friend. Do you EVER read your Voxer messages? Lmfao! When are we gonna collaborate, musically? Let me know.
Ahhh, I do try. My Voxer is strange, it works half the time, and then randomly, I will get 50 messages at once. I did try and record something then I did this video, but it failed miserably. I need to tey again!
@@attention5638 I'm thinking of investing in some good sound recording equipment, next year. I over dub--twice!--using 2 phones, and it sounds like shite, half the time, so I get it. I'm getting new guitar stings this weekend.
*offers beer*
RUclips is not a hospitable landscape on which to showcase sincerity, but if it was, think of how deeply we could touch people?
I was thinking exactly this when posting this, and how pointless it is to even put it up. Thanks for the beer. I do need it. 😅💙
You're alright, Mister. It's the world that's wrong ❤️
This is a lot of not thinking....something I've never been successful at. And was there a Step 5?
Ah yes--I just missed it the first time. :P
I am with you on that. But it does seem, not thinking is key to a happy life haha😅
Dickens is enough? Pssshhhhhh
Nooo. But for some reason, he did seem to fit here haha😅
@@attention5638 He really did!
Hypnotic Hysterical Happy Hilarious Hideo=Video ;-) AMazeIn(toGod)
Thank you! I just noticed you have a channel as well! I subbed and will check out some videos tonight!😎
